Draper Temple Open House

This last Friday Brian & I were able to go to the Draper Temple Open House with my sister Nat & her husband Adam, and our brother Phil.

Our tickets were for the 7:40 session and so driving up to the temple was pretty cool, because it was dark and the temple was so bright on the hill. Very pretty. It's a smaller temple and it was a silent tour so it was different than the other open house I've been to. We just walked through the temple and they gave you a pamphlet to read while you walked along. It was a very pretty and was so peaceful in there. I loved it. I really want to go back and do work there after it's dedicated.

The celestial room was so pretty and Brian and I just took a moment to stand in there and realize that we've been married for two years. It was just awesome to be there.

At the very end we got to sit in one of the sealing rooms and a couple talked to us about the importance of that room. We were one of the first people in the room so we were the last ones out. As we were waiting for the others to leave Brian leaned over to me and informed me that his ex-girlfriend from high school was sitting across from us with her husband and baby. I couldn't believe it! It was just crazy that something like that would happen. He dated her for 2 years and I was in love with him the whole time. So I didn't like her very much. But it was just interesting to see her. She avoided all eye contact with Brian and of course, me. (She didn't like me very much either. She didn't want Brian to hang out with me because she was afraid I was going to steal him away. Smart lady. :) lol)

It was good to go see the temple though and I would encourage everyone to go see it.
